Leftover Salmon Melt

I use this recipe when I have leftover baked salmon. If I do not think I will have enough for this dish, I add canned salmon. You can also add other ingredients to suit your taste: hard-boiled eggs, minced jalapeno, pickles, celery, etc.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 2

Melt butter in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

Mix onion and garlic with salmon, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, mustard, and parsley until combined. Season with more salt and pepper as desired.

Step 4

Slice baguette on a bias into 10 or 12 pieces. Place slices on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely that they don't burn. Top bread with the salmon mixture. Add a slice or two of tomatoes to each. Sprinkle mozzarella, Swiss, and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 6

Broil until cheese is melted and golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
